Bo•ov,s:raawr.—On Thursday night, about eleven o'clock, .atter the performances 'had closed at Co vent-garden Theatre,, a great noise was kept up in the a>,enues leading into .the Theatre, byway of re , joicing at the victory obtained by the 0. P.'s. Mr. Graham, the MagiStiate, sent one of the patrole to ascertain the cause of the disturbance ; he returned, and tepot led that there were about to; ty fifty per sons dancing the 0. P. dance in the avenue leading to the Tit, and two fifers playing to them. Mr. Graham desired the patrolc to take assistance, and • bring the filers before hicn. The man took his own party of the patrole with hint, rushed , in among them, and seized one of the fifers by his collar. He and the fifer were immediately surrounded, and ac tually carried oti their-legs to the iron gate. A wo man kept close to the side of the patrole, and was continually biting his thumb and hand, that had hold of the titer's collar. When they got infra the road, they all three fell down in the mud together; a vio lent scuffle 'ensued between the patrole and the fifer, and those who assisted' hint, in which the coats of the officer eitcl the fifes Were torn to rags, as wall as the woman's gown, and they were literally covered with.ntud. They got up, the patrole keeping his hold, and endeavouring to get the fifer into the Brown Bear publie-hou,e, but in which he was dis appointed, by another party of the- 0. P.'s corning, by which he was cirrid to the upper part of the street, and he was then glad to extricate and make his escape.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, DEC. 13. GINDON V. ROBSON'. This was an action on two bill's of exchange for 771. wind 731. drawn by Gindon and Hughes upon „and, ac,i , epted by the defendant, .Mrs. Ann Rob son, Albernarle-street, payable to the order of the drawers. , TheATTORNtY-GENERAL, for thedefendant,con tended t hat i was impossible tor t he,plain tiff to recover in this action, the bills being drawn, in the company firni, and the dctiou being in the name of Mr. Gindan alone. The defendant was entitled to know that - she paid with safety, and to assure her that she did so, the action should be in the name of the actual drawers and holders of the bills. Mr. PARK, for the plaintiff', stated that, though the name of Hughes was used as .a partner, for the sake of' giving him respectability,._ he was got Mr. Gindon's partner, but only his clerk, receiving a per centage as wages. This he proved by, the produc tion of-the agreement'. Mr. Hughes was•examined as a witness for the plaintiff, bEtt Stated himself to have been his partner. Lord ELLENtOROUGiI said, .that this was nothing but a grinding partnership, by tt hich Hughes was subjected to'all the risks, but admitted to as few of the benefits of - the partnership'as the i)ahltitrpos sibly could. • . • The plaintiff was accordingly non-suited. . • HARRIS 'V. ASPLIN. The plaintiff is_ a wholesale ~ deliler, in old clothes, in London, and the defendant carries on the same business tin Cambridge. The son of the plaintiff, 'who travels for JAM, .proved au order given to him •al.Cambridge; by the defendant, in September, 1808,. which , was ex- . ecuted agreeaole to the order. on the; 6th of Oct - O= ber, but the goods returned .on ,:the: loth of the same mouth, as. pot having, been ordered. On the 10th a ot.November foilowmg, the truss, which had been ,returtied to the plaintiff, was once more sent to the defendant; .and the present action brought for the amount. . Lord ELLENBOROUGH held, however, that ate improper delay: had been practised - by the Plain tiff, in expressing-his determination to hold the de fendant to ttis bargrin. The jury accordingly found for-the defendant. THURSDAY, DEC. 14. SITTINGS BfiFORI LOROLLLENISOROUGII, AT GUILDHALL PASSTLNGER V. CLEGG Mr:PARKE, for the pliintiti, stated, this to be an action on the part of the As?ignees ot, the Bankrupt Estne of a persOn of the oarne,of ,`,Tylack; to re,co ver troth the defendants, who ,were country Bankers with whom the Bankriipt was .accustomed to deal, the Sum' of 3241. tbs. being monies paid into the defendant's hands the brother of ; the Bankrupt, posterior to the 14th of August ,last, at which time he had committed an ac; t of bankruptcy by quitting his trOuse to avoid his Creditors, • • The proceedings tinder the Commission, so far @s related to' the act I?anky k uptcy,, the Petitioning Ci editor's debt, and the assignment to the plaintiffs were given in evidence, pod the Banker's book showed the sum paid in, .on account, of the Bank rupt, on the 24th of August and subsequent days, up to tile time of taking out the . Commission, to, b$ 3241. lOs. . GAtutow, for the defendants, contended that under the iket,of the igtb of George. IL the money so paid to the defendants, on the Bankrupt's account, could not be - affqded by any previous act of bank ruptcy, the . detendartea- having no, notice of any such circumstance, and tfle sums se paid to thern,not beingeqUal to : the loans or accommodations given to the Bankrupt by die defendants, and which these payments were meant to cover. Mr. PARKE replied, that, the accommodations a 1.,. luded to were by b!lls running at the time of taking out the ComMissinn. Lord ELLENBOROUGH held that the payments made to the defendants after the act of bankruptcy, could not be said to have been made out of the funds of the Bankrupt, for be bad ceased to have any ef feats, but out of the funds.of his Creditors. He should reserve the point, however, that the Learn ed Couitcd might have - the opinion of' the Court upon it. Verdid for the plaintiff, subjeal to this reservation. Pihnages 3241. 105. FOSTER V. ROBINS. Mr. PARKE stated this to be an adion on a Bill of Exchange for 2721. He was at a loss to conceive, what the defence was. His Client was a respedable man, and 'a Bill Broker. The hand writing of the defendant, whci was the drawer Of the bill, was proved, and also due notice of its dishonour. Mr. GARROW, for the defendant, argued, that 'payment of 13s. Bd. 'in the name of commissio►i, charged by the plaintiff, at the time of discounting the bill, in addition to the legal. interest, Con taminated the bill with usury in its original con- coetion. . It appearing however, that the plaintiff was; Biil Bioker, advancing the money of •his employers, and that the commission was only I per Cent.- which is the usual charge in such transaclions, • Lord ELLENBOROUGH held 'that every thing was correct. Verdi6.l for the plaintiff--Damages 2721. JONES AND CO, V. PeIOASE AND CO. Mr. PARKE, for the plaintiff, stated this also to be an action on a' Bill of Exchange, of which the defendants were the drawers and the plaintiffs the indorsers. He proVed the_ band writing of the acceptor, drawers; and indorsers, and also that notice of the dishonour had been made to the defendants by the plaintiffs, on the next day after the bill, was re turned to the plaintiff. Mr. LitwEs contended, that the hill having'been returned to the plaintiffs in. the forenoon,- notice' might have been given to the defenantS who lived within an half awhour's wet:, on the same day. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, this point-had alreadY been sufficiently decided.

'His Excellency (the Persian Ambassador received a complimentary visit from his:l.Ljesty's Ministers on -Wednesday. • According to the etiquette of the Persian co , irt, his 'Excellency cannot go out, or chew himself in he- , has been• introduced to' the King, wHich ceremony will take plaue.on-Wednesday next - , when his Excellency will make his formal entry at the Quern', Palace with Eastern splendour. , His Excellency's mission, at such a time as the present, ;oust be considered of infinite importance. It is .the fullest proof of 'the triumph of British reEtitude .and British interests -over the -machinations . of Buona parte, in the very place, where. he took particular pains', and at first, ..with some. appearance of suc cess,. to form a nursery of .political : intrigue and mi, liiary t7o wer for the destruction of the. British empire' in India. . . There are few things the .intelligence of which wouligive more pain to Buonaparte, than• that such an Entnaisy should be sent to our gracious Sovereign, in preference to him. In aping his " great prede cessors," :as be calls them, upon the Throne of France, he no doubt flatttred himsellthat he, like Louis XlVth, in the plenitude of Ins power,-and be fore the brilliant and overbearing, conquest with which his reign commenced was checked by a liam and a Marlborough, would have seen an Am hissador come spontaneously from this same C.,urt of Persia, to prostrate himself before his great , pess, and to compliment him upon .his victories. How great rousube the mortification of the " Con queror," tn.find that such an Ambassador is sent, not to 'do homage to his dazzling crimes, but to pay re. speti•to the: unimposing virtues "of: George 111. —bat the Mortification- of Buonaparte must be still • greater, as this Embassy . ..must' prove to. him how vain and„impraiSticable his schemes for the destruct. tion of ourships,- colenieS,-and commerce, are con sidered by those whose simplicity he wished to.de hide into a -cq-oper,ation and instrumentality in the exectition of his designs. Tile .Most simple of men camderire :from a plain °fad:. declui-t ions which are sufficient to overturn the most • artful and imposing representations of diplbmatie uing: We believe it was the very same King of Pepiiathat had.been seunced by a French Ambassador to send the complimentary nlishion to Louis XIV.'Who said to the Frenchman, " You tell tne your Master has conquered all Hol land, and : .destroyed its wealth and power; but how does_ it haippett, notwithstanding, that note - - ships arrive every year at Ormus, ,from the sin„ie port of Amsterdam, than have arlived.from the WholeErm= pirAt the great Monarch, your *Master, since the discovery of the passage to the Eastern - seas?"' This observation was unanswerable ; and by a similar , comparison between the trade of 'Britain and of France . (it any French trade there is) to'the Persian Gulph. at' the ' present ntoMent, the present Sove reign of Persia.could, at once see the falsehood and the'rniSchievous desigir7of the artful representations which the Senator Doulcet ,Pontecoulant, and Ge . neral Gardanne, certainly did not fail to make of the tiiurnpha of Buonaparte over Britain, and the advantages the Persian Empire mustoderive front cul tivating the friendship of the Great-- Nmlpoleon. THE LAWYEit DISAPPOINTED OF tii ,s days ago a person of ,genteel .appearance came to the house of Mr Trueman, innkeeper, in Gateshead, where. he announced his intention of staying a "short time, and delitered into the . landlord's possession a trunk of 44 valuable property." fluting his stay h e represented himself as,a gentleman of the long 'robe, and mentioned several charaaers, of the profession in the neighboullti;Oil, with whonshe preteUtied to be intimately acquainted ; but unfortunately for him, • as the servant was making his'bed one morning, she found a pick-lock, which naturally created suspicion, and pot the persons of the house on their guard.- On Wednesday last he gave notice of hii intention to depart early next morning, discharged his bill with the greatest promptness and received - possession of his trunk. In the evening he was observed by the servant to go easily up stairs and enter a room where there was much property, and on - the girl as cending to discover what 'he wascabont, she found the door locked. Mrs. T. however, on - being in 'formed, found ineans , in enter the room, ,v..,hen the 1 gentleman lawyer was discovered in his proper avo cation, 'viz. that of attempting to enter a large chest, where there was considerable property. What is much to be lamented,' in the confusion he effeaed his eseape, without a • hat, and in, slippers, leaving behind him a pair ocboots, and 'his valuable trunk, which was found to *contain part of an old sack and two linken pantiles. A most daring attempt at ,robbery was made on the eveninvof Wednesday se'nnight, at CoOtehill, 'in the county of Cavan. , As Mr. Coote; Mr. W. Lees; - iqua two other Gentlemen were sitting after dinner in the parlour, they were suddenly alarmed by the discharge Of - a pistol, which lodged a ball in the ceiling, and was immediately followed by the entry of two armed ruffians, with blacked faces. The Gentlemen : sprung uii, and Mr. Lees, by- a well . aimed blow, brought one of the ruffians to the floor. The other, 'rushing forward with a drawn sword to assist his c.,:mpanion,"was treated in the same man ner, and both of them being secured, were sent oft t next morning, under a guard, to the county 'gaol. It appears that they had information of a large sum of money which one of the company had received that morning, and hyped, by a sudden effort, to make it their plunder. • A young lady, .of the name of. Trediway, was burnt in so shocking a manner on Wednesday even ing, in Berwick-street, that she died yesterday, after lingering 48 hours, in' excruciating agony. The catastrophe was occasioned .by Miss T. setting'fire to her bed-furniture while reading, and in her anxiety • to extinguish the flames she Tell a victim. Her aunt was the first person who came to her assistance, who was also burnt in so bad a r manner as to tender her insensible. _ _ Au infuriated bullock committed great outrages yesterday. morning in Cow-Cross. He had originally been over-driven, and he made an attack on two genteel wo►nen, one of whom was tossed several feet dr the ground, and dangerously injured by the fall. The other lady escaped the fury of the ani mal by prostrating herself on the stones. The ani mal was, at-lengih penned in Smithfield. and leaving off •all other business, acquaint' the pre ceding indorser of the dishonour of the bill the very moment it. Wa4 re!urned to him. He 1.40u1d be is time to do'tio on _the following day. Mr. LAW ES then objeaed, that it was laid in the declaration that the bill Was not, as it actually ap peared to be, in the band writing of one of the de fendants but, " both their own proper hands being 'thereto subscribed." On this ground he submitted that the plaintiff must be non-suited. Lord ELLENBottotJGI wished not to turn round the plaintiff on an obje6tiOn of this kind. If it had borne to be " their own proper hand" there could have been no Obje6tion, • the- hand of- be;ng to this-eft:ea, the hand of both: , The additional s. Was 'only a surplus.
